Well firstly I have to say what a sorry sight Odsal Stadium has become , it really is sad to see one of the great and historic Rugby League venues in such a sorry state .

The Bradford Bulls today are a shadow of what they were in the first 10 years of Super League when they had in their ranks some of the greatest players to have ever played the game , Michael Withers , Leon Pryce , Jamie Peacock , Shanti Harpe , Leslie Vainikolo , Robbie Paul and many others .

The Bulls won the lot , World Championship , Challenge Cup and Super League champions and backed by crowds of 20k .

Today they barely had 2k supporters in attendance and were outnumbered by the Trinity fans two to one this afternoon .

1895 Cup

Bradford Bulls 14 - Wakefield Trinity 40

The Bulls played really well first half and led 8-6 at the break , they were energetic , fired up and were making way too many mtrs in their carry's for my liking , the question was could they keep that phenomenal effort up for 80 minutes , the answer was they couldn't and were a spent force in the second half and totally out of gas .

Trinity simply ran all over them in that second half and booked our place at Wembley .

It was an emotional moment after the game with the players and coaching staff sharing the utter joy amongst the mass ranks of Trinity fans , it's been a long time but finally we've made it to Wembley and we will meet the Sheffield Eagles on June 8th .

A very very special day for Trinity and our fans , many were wiping away the tears and I had a real lump in my throat as the celebrations continued .

I somehow think we won't be waiting another 44 years to visit Wembley .

This club is going to become the next Yorkshire superpower to challenge the Lancashire heavyweights and something Yorkshire Rugby League has needed since the demise of the Bradford Bulls .

It was a symbolic day in many respects .
